Prashant Kishor gives ultimatum to Bihar govt, vows to lead BPSC protest
Prashant Kishor flayed the recent police lathi-charge on protesting students and called upon the NDA government to take urgent steps

Jan Suraaj chief Prashant Kishor on Thursday issued a warning to the Bihar government, demanding a resolution to the grievances of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants within three days. Otherwise, he will personally join the protests and lead from the front.

Speaking to students at Gardanibagh in Patna, Kishore flayed the recent police lathi-charge on protesting students and called upon the NDA government to take urgent steps.

“The government must sit with student representatives and consider seriously the demand for re-examining the examinations. Unhappily, yesterday, a student committed suicide. The government must right away announce Rs 10 lakh as compensation to the bereaved family,” said Kishore.
Leaders rally against police actions
Giving an ‘ultimatum’ to the state government, he said, “If the issue is not resolved in three days and the students decide to continue the protests, I will lead them myself.”

Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav also weighed in, condemning the use of force against the students. “They shouldn’t have done this. It’s wrong,” he said. Meanwhile, police officers said that only “gentle force” was required to handle the situation, and they dismissed reports of hurt protesters.
